Backe.

Etymology tree Old High German backo Middle High German backe German Backe From Middle High German backe, from Old High German backo. Further origin uncertain; note, however, the similarity to Ancient Greek φᾰγεῖν (phăgeîn, “eat”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂g- (“to divide, distribute”) (though the same non-trivial semantic shift occurring in two independent branches is unlikely), as well as Latin bucca.

From Early New High German backe, possibly related to Etymology 1. Compare typologically Russian я́годица (jágodica, “buttock”), Serbo-Croatian jагодица (“cheekbone”) (< Proto-Slavic *agodica (“cheek”)). However, perhaps more likely related to Proto-West Germanic *bak (“back (of the body)”), Bache, and Bank, and converged onto the same spelling and pronunciation as that of Etymology 1.
